Adele Jordan Saves the Day

Howdy, there. I'm Adele Jordan, and I'll tell you, the day my niece Robbie opened up her new country store restaurant, things about went south before they even got off the ground! Shoot, after she worked so hard and all to fix it up, doing all the carpentry herself, just like my little sis taught her.

But the girl Robbie'd hired up and quit, and Robbie, she needed some help. So I took a break from my sheep tending and pitched right in. I'm seventy, but still strong as an ox. Or almost, anywho.

And that opening day crowd was a sight to be seen. Why, even the mayor came in, all six foot of her, plus four-inch heels, of course. We was running our tushes

off from seven until well into the afternoon serving up pancakes, cheesey biscuits and gravy, and lots more.

You might should stop by South Lick for breakfast if you're in the hills of southern Indiana. Robbie's banana-walnut pancakes are dang tasty, if I do say so myself.

And there's this book some author wrote all about Robbie, her store, and even me! It'll be out on the 27th of this month, I hear tell. Should be a right good read.

Maddie Day (also answers to Edith Maxwell) says she'll give away a copy of the book to somebody who comments here. So fess up: What's your favorite breakfast food? Ever had whole wheat banana walnut pancakes? How about some of them fried biscuits?

Della at deepotter@peoplepc.com In the summer we are partial to waffles with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on it. Pure Maple syrup poured over the lot and a sprinkle of either chopped walnuts or almonds across the top. In the winter it is oatmeal cereal w/o milk. But a spoon of raw honey, spoon of cinnamon and chopped apples or some other fruit (we rotate with bananas, blueberries, etc.) And sometimes nuts or coconuts with Baking Powder biscuits and hot choc

My favorite breakfast is scrambled eggs, Spam, white rice and a glass of guava juice at the Oceanside Cafe in Kona, Hawaii. For a change I'll order their banana pancakes, but I'll always have to have a side of grilled Spam! kat8762@aol.com

IHOP's harvest grain pancakes with bananas, or even apples. I love most breakfast foods, can have omelets and goodies for amy meal. Love pancakes but don't have them as often anymore. Biscuits and gravy...oh, I am hungry just thinking about it!

Waffles or pancakes with sausages, orange juice and home fries. That's my favorite breakfast, but these days it has to look more like oatmeal or multigrain toast with a cup of lightly sweetened tea. Those banana walnut pancakes look fabulous, and your new book sounds so good and funny. I love the character's voice, lol. Thanks for a chance to win it. Lauigl [at] carolina [dot] rr [dot] com

I love pancakes for breakfast, served with lots of fresh fruit and sprinkled with powdered sugar and a few slices of bacon. I think I'll make them for breakfast tomorrow! Thanks for the chance to win your book. dblaser(at)windstream(dot)net

I've never eaten whole wheat banana walnut pancakes or fried biscuits but both sound good. My favorite breakfast is an omelet with mushrooms, onions, and cheddar cheese, with a side of bacon and buttered wheat toast. Thank you for this giveaway!peggyhyndman(at)att(dot)net

Although my regular-morning-at-home favorite is a bowl of plain cheerios and milk with enough honey nut cheerios mixed in to give it some sweetness, my restaurant-special-occasion favorite is pancakes or french toast with real maple syrup. Thanks for the fun giveaway! rencw@verizon.net

Carol Wong is the winner! I'll email you, Carol. Congratulations, and thanks everybody for commenting with ALL these delicious breakfasts. I think Robbie has a few new ideas for her Specials board.
